Islamic Movement institutions banned by Israel

January 19, 2016 at 3:31 pm

In November 2015, the Israeli government outlawed the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in the country, using British Mandate-era “Emergency Regulations” to do so. Following this decision, a number of organisations deemed to be affiliated with the group were closed and their premises were raided by the Israeli authorities.

This report looks at 10 such institutions proscribed recently by Israel. They have been providing a diverse range of services for Palestinian citizens of Israel, including: higher education support, religious studies, medical assistance, poverty alleviation and support for small businesses. Their closure is likely to have a profoundly negative effect on Israel’s non-Jewish citizens.
